Sip Sam Hang Road (Thai: ถนนสิบสามห้าง, pronounced [tʰānǒn sìp sǎːm hâːŋ]) is a short street 165 m (541.3 ft) long in the Bang Lamphu area in Talat Yot Subdistrict of Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok. The street was divided into two sections like a roundabout. In the eastern side was later renamed "Bowon Niwet Road" (ถนนบวรนิเวศน์, pronounced [tʰānǒn bɔwɔːn níʔwêːt]) after the name of Wat Bowonniwet, that it runs through. Phra Sumen Road cuts through its northern end. While the southern end is shaped like a traffic circle, where Tanao, Rambuttri, Tani Roads, and itself meet. Its name literally translates to "13 department stores". It comes from the fact that Guangdong Province in China, back in the day and there were 13 stores or 13 firms in a trading centre and were referred to as the guild. They were an association that supported each other. When the Chinese came to Siam (present-day Thailand) to trade they set up the guild system to support their businesses here too. They built a trade centre just as in Guangdong and it is supposed that is why the road it called. The trade centre has long been demolished but this name is still remains. It is often believed that there were actually 13 Chinese stores that once stood here. There is no evidence to confirm this assumption. The shophouses along the street as seen today were built during the King Rama VII's reign and the King Rama IX's reign. They were rebuilt from the original buildings that had been built since the King Rama IV's reign. These shophouses are believed to be the first shophouses in the Bang Lamphu and has contributed to the area's prosperity as a commercial district until the present. Sip Sam Hang Road used to be a pocket park-style island in the middle. It was built in 1976 by filling in an area that had previously been a canal. Before that, it was a bomb shelter during World War II. It was two rectangular reinforced concrete buildings with many ventilation shafts. It could hold about 50 people. Later, when the war was over, Bangkok Municipality (present-day Bangkok Metropolitan Administration) then dismantled the chest to build a public toilet. Until early 2022, it was dismantled to make way for the construction of the Southern MRT Purple Line extension (Tao Poon-Rat Burana route). Bang Lamphu and Sip Sam Hang Road considered as a hangout spot of youngsters in the 1950s to the 1960s same as Wang Burapha. Since it was home to many restaurants including cafés and ice cream parlours that offer jukebox and television, which were rare appliances in those days. It was also the point of departure for at least three bus lines until now. Hence, Sip Sam Hang Road was mentioned in the 1997 Thai period movie Dang Bireley's and Young Gangsters as a backdrop for the characters in street gang battles.

It is situated near Khaosan Road in the Bang Lamphu neighbourhood in the Phra Nakhon district. The road mainly consists of two parts. The first part connects Sip Sam Hang Road with the Chakrabongse Road. The second part runs from the Chakrabongse Road, beside Wat Chana Songkhram, to the Chao Fa Road, which is at the foot of the Pra Pin-Klao Bridge opposite the National Theater. The name, Ram Buttri, translates as 'daughter of Rama'. It refers to Mom Chao Ying Pao Suriyakul, who was the daughter of Prince Rama Isares. She donated money to build a bridge dedicated to her father, which crossed Khlong Bang Lamphu (Bang Lamphu canal), also known as Khlong Ban Khaek (Ban Khaek canal). Thus the bridge was named "Saphan Ram Buttri", and the canal was called Khlong Ram Buttri. The official opening ceremony was held on August 13, 1910, presided over by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). Later, the canal was turned into a road, and the bridge was demolished, but its name remained.Today, Ram Buttri Road is home to hostels, guest houses, boutique hotels, bars, Thai massage services, 24 hour restaurants, and many street food stalls, which are well known among tourists.

The royal silk-weaving-factory located near the Saphan Chang Rong Si dissolved in the reign of King Nangklao (Rama III), remaining only another factory. It was the place to produce silk, used for the clothes of the monarch and royal family, as well as the senior civil servants. Until the reign of King Chulalongkorn, the operation was closed down due to more fabric orders from other countries. The canal that runs through this area was also called Khlong Rong Mai. Alike to Saphan Ram Buttri and Khlong Ram Buttri, although the factory and canal have disappeared, the name "Trok Rong Mai" is still used for this area. At present, it is the location of many guesthouses for tourists as well as Ram Buttri Road nearby.
